Chris Nix| FSU team Questioned Dockett Sexuality

OK first this is going to a lil controversial. I ran it by a mod to see if it was ok. Told me to go this route. Chris Rix did a interview and basically said when they were at college at FSU the team had questions about Dockett's sexuality. Then theres a response from Dockett on twitter which isnt too nice.

I couldn't care less if he's gay or not. If he's a good teammate and player, what he does in his spare time is his own business.

I'm in the army and feel the same way about combat. If a fellow soldier, who also happens to like other men, wants to shoot Hodgie in the face, I'm all for it.

...it's a polarizing issue but I'm a live and let live guy. My sister is gay and married in Boston. She's one of the best people I know and head and shoulders above my bigoted family members that have ostracized her.

It's sad that so many people are so insecure in their own lives and sexualities that they have to try and impose their own will on others. Like I said: live and let live. :starspin

Without opening the link yet, I believe that Rix was very hated in the FSU locker room by the players during his time there. He is proving why he was hated as well bringing up this subject about people.

So you're a bigot for having a difference in opinion? I think the word "bigot" gets thrown around far too lightly these days.

I remember a discussion with my father (a thirty year vet) where he said:
"When you're under fire, you don't care if the guy next to you is white, black, brown, yellow, or green. All that matters is whether you can count on him."
